Patent attributes
A showerhead assembly is provided which includes a conduit, a gear train and oscillating nozzle chamber. The gear train includes a propeller, toothed pinion, and large toothed gear. Water flows from the conduit into an internal chamber within the showerhead housing. Specifically, water enters the propeller thereby causing it to rotate, the rotation of which causes the pinion to rotate, and consequently, the large gear to revolve. Additionally, a pin seated on the large gear engages with the pin slot located on the nozzle chamber and causes the chamber to pivot, thereby restricting chamber movement as the pin oscillates with rotation of the large gear. Further, the chamber's horizontal movement is hindered by two shoulder arms. As water exits the large gear, it travels through the left shoulder arm's central channel and into the oscillating chamber, whereby it expels through the nozzle outlet in a reciprocating spray pattern.
